Would your child benefit from a head start in Algebra I? Having a solid foundation in basic arithmetic

percentages in preparation for the Algebra I curriculum. Students also receive an introduction to integers,
exponential notation, scientific notation, and word problems.

have the chance to practice solving problems that reinforce those concepts under the guidance of their
Algebra teacher.
Computer Keyboarding
Grades 9-10
Does your child need to strengthen keyboarding skills in order to work more effectively on the computer?
Using a computer requires a system for typing speed and accuracy. In this class, students will learn
multisensory touch-typing and the skills needed to improve their keyboarding skills. The goal for students is
to improve their typing speed to be better than their best handwriting speed. Student attendance the first
week of class is essential in order to ensure foundation skills are learned.
Grade levels refer to the grade students will enter in the fall.
Shelton students are given priority on or before April 14.
